Investigation Summary
On August 10, 2001, an employee was in the process of off-loading condensate, a flammable liquid petroleum byproduct (flash point 35 - 40 degrees), from a 200-barrel trailer tank into a 300-barrel holding tank. Sometime after the connection of hoses and the start of liquid transfer, a fire started. The employee died from second- and third-degree burns he sustained to approximately 50 percent of his body. A local, retired volunteer fire chief was first to arrive on the scene, speculated that the fire was caused by a fast-moving lightning storm.
